RECIPE #1
Choc-banana
1 frozen banana
1 Tbsp cacao powder
1 Tbsp peanut butter powder (or peanut butter)
2-3 Tbsp oats
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (vanilla works, too)

Pop all your ingredients into the blender. Blend. Done.
Tip: If you don’t have a frozen banana on hand, just chuck some ice cubes into the blender along with the rest of the ingredients – easy! Easier than remembering to freeze a banana.

1 Tbsp almond butter (or any nut butter)

RECIPE #3
Green smoothie
1 banana
Handful of spinach
¼ cup Greek yoghurt
